🕊️ Skoruba.AuditLogging

Simple audit logging for .NET Core with EntityFramework Core support

This project is ported to .NET Core 3.1. 🚀

How to install

dotnet add package Skoruba.AuditLogging.EntityFramework --version 1.0.0

How to use it

Setup for web application and auditing of users:

services.AddAuditLogging(options =>
                {
                    options.UseDefaultSubject = true;
                    options.UseDefaultAction = true;
                })
                .AddDefaultHttpEventData(subjectOptions =>
                    {
                        subjectOptions.SubjectIdentifierClaim = ClaimsConsts.Sub;
                        subjectOptions.SubjectNameClaim = ClaimsConsts.Name;
                    },
                    actionOptions =>
                    {
                        actionOptions.IncludeFormVariables = true;
                    })
                .AddDefaultStore(options => options.UseSqlServer(Configuration.GetConnectionString("ApplicationDbContext"),
                    optionsSql => optionsSql.MigrationsAssembly(migrationsAssembly)))
                .AddDefaultAuditSink();

Setup for machine application (e.g. background jobs):

services.AddAuditLogging(options =>
                {
                    options.UseDefaultAction = false;
                    options.Source = "Web"
                })
                .AddStaticEventSubject(subject =>
                {
                    subject.SubjectType = AuditSubjectTypes.Machine;
                    subject.SubjectIdentifier = EmailServiceConsts.Name;
                    subject.SubjectName = Environment.MachineName;
                })
                .AddDefaultEventAction()
                .AddStore<ApplicationDbContext, AuditLog, AuditLoggingRepository<ApplicationDbContext, AuditLog>>(options =>
                    options.UseSqlServer(configuration.GetConnectionString("ApplicationDbConnection"),
                        optionsSql => optionsSql.MigrationsAssembly(migrationsAssembly)))
                .AddDefaultAuditSink();

Usage in code

            // Create fake product
            var productDto = new ProductDto
            {
                Id = Guid.NewGuid().ToString(),
                Name = Guid.NewGuid().ToString(),
                Category = Guid.NewGuid().ToString()
            };

            // Log this action
            var productGetUserEvent = new ProductGetEvent
            {
                Product = productDto
            };

Logging for user action

 await _auditEventLogger.LogEventAsync(productGetUserEvent);

Logging for machine action

var productGetMachineEvent = new ProductGetEvent
            {
                Product = productDto,
                SubjectType = AuditSubjectTypes.Machine,
                SubjectName = Environment.MachineName,
                SubjectIdentifier = Environment.MachineName,
                Action = new { Method = nameof(Get), Class = nameof(AuditController) }
            };

            await _auditEventLogger.LogEventAsync(productGetMachineEvent, options =>
                {
                    options.UseDefaultSubject = false;
                    options.UseDefaultAction = false;
                });

ProductAddedEvent.cs

public class ProductAddedEvent : AuditEvent
    {
        public ProductDto ProductDto { get; set; }  
    }

Setup default IAuditSubject and IAuditAction

`IAuditSubject`

Default subject implementation for HTTP calls:

public class AuditHttpSubject : IAuditSubject
    {
        public AuditHttpSubject(IHttpContextAccessor accessor, AuditHttpSubjectOptions options)
        {
            SubjectIdentifier = accessor.HttpContext.User.FindFirst(options.SubjectIdentifierClaim)?.Value;
            SubjectName = accessor.HttpContext.User.FindFirst(options.SubjectNameClaim)?.Value;
            SubjectAdditionalData = new
            {
                RemoteIpAddress = accessor.HttpContext.Connection?.RemoteIpAddress?.ToString(),
                LocalIpAddress = accessor.HttpContext.Connection?.LocalIpAddress?.ToString(),
                Claims = accessor.HttpContext.User.Claims?.Select(x=> new { x.Type, x.Value })
            };
        }

        public string SubjectName { get; set; }

        public string SubjectType { get; set; } = AuditSubjectTypes.User;

        public object SubjectAdditionalData { get; set; }

        public string SubjectIdentifier { get; set; }
    }

`IAuditAction`

Default action implementation for HTTP calls:

public class AuditHttpAction : IAuditAction
    {
        public AuditHttpAction(IHttpContextAccessor accessor, AuditHttpActionOptions options)
        {
            Action = new
            {
                TraceIdentifier = accessor.HttpContext.TraceIdentifier,
                RequestUrl = accessor.HttpContext.Request.GetDisplayUrl(),
                HttpMethod = accessor.HttpContext.Request.Method,
                FormVariables = options.IncludeFormVariables ? HttpContextHelpers.GetFormVariables(accessor.HttpContext) : null
            };
        }

        public object Action { get; set; }
    }

Sinks

Database migrations

dotnet ef migrations add DbInit -c DefaultAuditLoggingDbContext -o Data/Migrations
dotnet ef database update -c DefaultAuditLoggingDbContext

Database sink via EntityFramework Core - `DatabaseAuditEventLoggerSink`

By default it is used database sink via EntityFramework Core, for registration this default sink - it is required to register this method:

.AddDefaultStore(options => options.UseSqlServer(Configuration.GetConnectionString("ApplicationDbContext"),
                    optionsSql => optionsSql.MigrationsAssembly(migrationsAssembly)))
                .AddDefaultAuditSink()

AddDefaultStore:

This method register default implementation of:
DefaultAuditLoggingDbContext - Default DbContext for access to database
AuditLog - Entity for logging all audit stuff
AuditLoggingRepository - Repository for access to database, which contains GRUD method for access to AuditLog table.
In the background it is used method called: AddStore - which is possible to use instead of AddDefaultStore and specify individual implementation of these objects above

builder.AddStore<DefaultAuditLoggingDbContext, AuditLog, AuditLoggingRepository<DefaultAuditLoggingDbContext, AuditLog>>(dbContextOptions);

AddDefaultAuditSink:

This method is for registration of default Sink:

builder.AddAuditSinks<DatabaseAuditEventLoggerSink<AuditLog>>();

How to use own Sink

It is necessary to implement interface IAuditEventLoggerSink and one single method called:

Task PersistAsync(AuditEvent auditEvent);

Then you can register your new sink via method - .AddAuditSinks<> - which has overload for maximum 8 sinks.

Example

Source code

Please, check out the project Skoruba.AuditLogging.Host - which contains example with Asp.Net Core API - with fake authentication for testing purpose only. 😊
